For when Moses had spoken euery precept to the people, according to the Law, he tooke the blood of calues and of goates, with water and purple wooll and hyssope, and sprinckled both the booke, and all the people,

For Christ is not entred into ye holy places that are made with hands, which are similitudes of ye true Sanctuarie: but is entred into very heauen, to appeare now in ye sight of God for vs,

(For then must he haue often suffred since the foundation of the world) but now in the end of the world hath he bene made manifest, once to put away sinne by the sacrifice of him selfe.

So Christ was once offered to take away the sinnes of many, and vnto them that looke for him, shall he appeare the second time without sinne vnto saluation.

For the Lawe hauing the shadowe of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can neuer with those sacrifices, which they offer yeere by yeere continually, sanctifie the commers thereunto.

For would they not then haue ceased to haue bene offered, because that the offerers once purged, should haue had no more conscience of sinnes?

For it is vnpossible that the blood of bulles and goates should take away sinnes.

But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sinnes, sitteth for euer at the right hand of God,

For with one offering hath he consecrated for euer them that are sanctified.

For the holy Ghost also beareth vs record: for after that he had sayd before,

Nowe where remission of these things is, there is no more offering for sinne.

By the newe and liuing way, which hee hath prepared for vs, through the vaile, that is, his flesh:

And washed in our bodies with pure water, let vs keepe the profession of our hope, without wauering, (for he is faithfull that promised)

For if we sinne willingly after that we haue receiued & acknowledged that trueth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sinnes,

But a fearefull looking for of iudgement, and violent fire, which shall deuoure the aduersaries.

For we know him that hath sayd, Vengeance belongeth vnto mee: I will recompense, saith the Lord. And againe, The Lord shall iudge his people.

For both ye sorowed with mee for my bonds, and suffered with ioy the spoyling of your goods, knowing in your selues howe that ye haue in heauen a better, and an enduring substance.

For ye haue neede of patience, that after ye haue done the will of God, ye might receiue the promes.

For yet a very litle while, and hee that shall come, will come, and will not tary.

Nowe faith is the ground of things, which are hoped for, and the euidence of things which are not seene.
